^^ same.

my mum does the exact same n hers always tastes sweeter than mine :/
i don't put the sugar in after putting my spoon in the water cause then the sugar in my pot gets gross.... if m not having sugar i keep the teabag in till i finish the tea

[Samantha]

I get my parents to make it instead.

Really though, if the teabag has been used before it will be:

Teabag in.
Water.
Milk.
Stand for a bit.
Teabag out.

If not then:

Teabag in.
Water.
Teabag out.
Milk.
Stand/cool down.
Drink.

I don't really ever have tea, but when I use a teabag I go

Water
Teabag
Milk
Sugar

[AlexHenry]

Only drink tea at work -
- Tea bag
- Hot water
- Milk
- Sugar


If my colleagues are making lots for the staff then I force them to put sugar in first because they forget - even though it says it on the drinks list!

[FlyingJesus]

[-:Undertaker:-]

This thread reminds me of George Orwell's famous paper on how to make the perfect cup of tea. Anyway, I do..

Teabag and sugar in the cup, pour the boiling water - leave to stand for a few minutes, squeeze the teabag and then pour in the milk and stir.

Bobs your uncle, you have a cup of tea.

[Hiding]

teabag
water
wait
milk

[Martin]

tbh my mum normally makes it for me :(

however on the odd occasion I have had to create my own tea I have done the following:



1) Whip out a mug
2) put water in the kettle thing
3) turn kettle thing on
4) put some sugar in the mug
5) whip out a tea bag
6) put the teabag in the mug
7) wait for kettle thing to turn itself off and steam to come out
8) pour hot water into the mug
9 gently stir to avoid breaking the tea bag
10) remove the tea bag using fingers
11) add a bit of milk so its not too hot (I like my tea quite cold)
12) give it a good hard stir
13) drink woooo

[Cerys]

hate tea but i make my mums like this

put teabag in cup
pour water in
put a bit of cool water in
stir
take tea bag out.

[Oleh]

Bit of a late reply but it is actually quite nice. It's popular in Hong Kong apparently.

[babe]

boil kettle
put teabag and two sugars in mug
pour the water from kettle into mug
stir and then take out the teabag
then add milk

[Shar]

hate drinking tea. Coffee with lots of milk

[Circadia]

Boil the water and put it into a tea pot with 3 tea bags
then put two sugars in the cup pour in tea then milk
and voilà ;D

[Swearwolf]

it scares me people put milk in with the tea bag before hot water :/ must make it taste raaaaaaaank

teabag n sugar in (3 sugars any less it tastes bitter)
boilin water
leave 5 mins to go strong mix etc
milk to brim stir
spill over kitchen side and sometimes bare toes
scream in agony and swear
slurp a bit to avoid previous
crudely mop the mess on side
drop spoon on floor
swear again
slowly mumble n waddle to living room
eat

[Niall!]

it scares me people put milk in with the tea bag before hot water :/ must make it taste raaaaaaaank

Actually it is the undisputed best way of making tea. No exceptions.

Boil Kettle
Put in teabag and milk while boiling
Pour in water
remove teabag
bring cup of tea upstairs
Put sugar into tea
Go downstairs with teaspoon, clean it
Return to my lair

[Mathew]

tea bag and one sweetener in
hot water in
leave tea bag in a while so it's strong
bit of milk
stir

a good cup of tea should be orange in colour. also Yorkshire Tea ftw. mmmm makes my mouth water.

[Teabags]

I think this is just how it goes.

[Mat7]

Items required (placed in this order):

Yorkshire Gold tea bag,
2 teaspoons of brown sugar,
water,
whole milk.

Perfection.

[Deak]

I make my tea like this:

Boil Kettle
Put in teabag and milk while boiling
Pour in water
remove teabag
drink tea

[hamheyelliot]

My method is bonkers but quick and damn fine:

Place teabag on spoon, hold spoon above mug
Pout the water slowly over teabag
Teabag filters it into instant brewed tea
Milk n sugar
Voila

[shiver]

i don't drink tea. or any hot drinks for that matter. but when i make tea for others i make it in THIS precise order:

TEABAG IN
WATER
TEABAG OUT
MILK
SUGAR (OPTIONAL OBV)
